Unlike the Mi’kuetz, they are not endorsed by the [[Izweski Nation\|Hegemony]] or have close relationships with the K’lax Hive, as official policy requires K’lax to not consider Aut’akh as allies.

	While Lii'kenka Gynes are best remembered now for their treason, ordinary Lii'kenka are similar in personality to the rest of the C'thur brood—if ever slightly more cunning. This is especially true for the undercover Lii'kenka who pretend to be regular members of the C'thur brood. The Lii'kenka will be sly and ensure that its cover is not blown, not even through pheromones. When formulating their thoughts via Hivenet, a Lii'kenka will likely take some more time to properly encode their message ~~correctly~~. Lii'kenka pretending to have proper VOAS documentation would not confess this to anyone, not even other Punished or suspected Lii'kenka.

	When the C'thur Hive was first able to become citizens of the Nralakk Federation, it was only obvious that Vytel's Warriors should be put to use in the [[Skrell_Politics#Qukala \| Lukala]] branch of the military. Serving admirably, some of these Warriors were among Vytel's chosen to accompany an expedition out into the farther reaches of the Q'elpi Basin as a reward for their loyalty to the Federation. This uncharted sector of space was intended to serve as the C’thur hub of operations in the Traverse regions, particularly with regards to the Lukala’s anti-piracy operations.

	The Bi’Plat was a modified generation fleet of the modern Ovlolis class equipped with all the prerequisites for ~~Vaurcesian~~ longevity including robust K’ois hydroponics systems, egg growth chambers, and Cephalon networks. With a crew complement of few dozen Ta Aliates, thousands of Vytel’s Warriors and Workers, Skrellian Qukala serving as auxiliary personnel, and several hundred C’thuric bioforms such as Cultivators for hydroponics and Manglers for defence, it set out from Oyepiit, [[Notable_Skrell_Systems_and_Locations#Glorashi \| Glorashi]] in 2458, in search of a star system known as Glaraszi.

	Despite the initial hopefulness of the Federation towards sending their newfound allies out into the stars, not all was well on the Bi’Plat during the initial stretches of the mission. The fleet was not sufficiently equipped for the k’ois production needed to sustain its population as originally projected, a concern from the Ta themselves that, at the time, was overlooked by the Federation government. Additionally, moderate panic set in among the crew at large after it was discovered that the number of eggs provided by Lesser Queen Vytel would not be enough to last the decades required to reach Glaraszi while still maintaining population stability.

	Because of these circumstances, discontent grew among the Bi’Plat’s crew in the following years, which may have culminated in the attitudes displayed by the Xi’larx later on. They began to see themselves as having been relegated to just another version of their old Hiveship, the Kloxa’xia, and without the long-term psychological outlook of their Skrellian compatriots, ennui started to set in.

They began to see themselves as having been relegated to just another version of their old Hiveship, the Kloxa’xia, and without the long-term psychological outlook of their Skrellian compatriots, ennui started to set in.

	These struggles and dissatisfactions would come to a head in 2461 before the Bi’Plat would even come close to reaching Glaraszi, only 3 years after the Bi’Plat’s initial deployment, when the fleet happened to pass through a sector that was not fully charted in the fleet’s course. This sector, known as Qii’miiq, contained a sphere of electromagnetic interference, not dissimilar to Tattuqig’s, that the Bi’Plat was not built to account for. This interference not only affected the fleet’s lead ship controls and navigation systems, but also had the unfortunate effect of disabling Hivenet communications, leading to mass panic within the ~~Vaurcesian~~ crew members as they found they could no longer communicate between decks, much less other outside sources to call for help.

	For these reasons, the Bi’Plat was forced to undergo a mass emergency landing on a planet in the system now known as Eshu’gat (a word that, in Vaurcese, means "damnation"). The crew was alerted to find that the planet was heated, arid, and contained a noxious atmosphere, predominantly of ammonia, making it inhospitable to all but Vaurcae and forcing the Skrellian complement to remain confined to their chambers. Due to the failure of the Bi’Plat ships’ systems, oxygen was only able to last several more hours before the Skrellian crew perished that same day. These Skrell are now enshrined as martyrs by the Xi’larx, and their bodies were either buried or burned on Eshu’gat in keeping with Qeblak and Weishii tradition.

	The remaining Vaurcae of Vytel were forced to act quickly in order to survive, running K’ois farms and their Cephalon networks through the stretches of the crashed vessels, thus building their "society" around the crash sites, despite a lack of power beyond the use of what emergency generators they possessed. Although the Ta leading the expedition were initially able to keep their hive-cells calm and composed, more panic set in as the Bi’Plat’s initial struggles during flight meant that it was impossible to keep every Vaurca properly fed, and the distant hope of pleading for assistance from the rest of C’thur was still met with silence, even the crash site too isolated to connect to the Hivenet. Additionally, the usually resistant Cephalons had suffered serious damage, and much of the information within had been lost. The crashed Vaurca lacked many of the tools required to perform all but critical repairs and were unable to recover anything but the most rudimentary information, the rest lost for good. Due to this, the Cephalons, whose protocols should have been guiding them through this traumatic period of rebuilding, instead "behaved" erratically. For many of the crash-landed Vaurca, the discovery of their isolation and the damage to the Cephalon's was the most distressing they would make. So used to being connected to the Hive at large, some even fell into a deep stupor or developed unusual tendencies to cope; however, the remainder set about trying to adapt.

	Much of the information regarding what occurred in the intervening time has been lost due to these circumstances. What is known, however, is that the Hive attempted to build their own localized Hivenet relay, a project that had some success but was deeply unreliable due to the same interference that had forced the Hive to land to begin with. With the Cephalon's so damaged, this rebuilding became a monumental and expensive task. Critical knowledge regarding Hivenet relays was lost, and a few ~~Vaurcesian~~ Engineering specialists were forced to build using what, to them, were the scraps of an alien vessel and poor-quality local materials. It was due to this that the lost C'thur found themselves restorting to more primitive communication methods, such as only sending short Hivenet communications due to information loss and even going as far as writing down important information, effectively resurrecting the language of ancient Vaurcese that until then had been all but resigned to scholastic pursuit.

	It was not long before those Ta that did not remain loyal to the Federation formed schisms, convincing their own hive-cells, as well as some of the hive-cells whose Ta remained in Glorashi, to venture out farther into the planet and grow new k’ois farms in the dry soil, making the best they could out of the situation at hand. The Federation loyalists who were hopeful they would be rescued with enough time remained among the ships, providing them with benefits such as a higher quality of life and easier access to the infrastructure of the damaged Virtual Reality Network. This status quo remained until several months after the initial landing, when a group of hive-cells that had ventured out onto the planet, overseen by regional manager Ta’Akaix’Oliwarg C’thur, violently seized the Cephalons for themselves. Neither side willing to give up such a critical asset, the fighting displayed a level of brutality not seen by the C'thur for many years. By the time Oliwarg claimed victory, hundreds of loyalists’ and turncoats’ Warriors alike were dead.

	In 2461, a group of C'thur Surrogates were discovered plotting against [[Mouv, The Recondite Queen\|Mouv's]] increasing power within the Hive. These Surrogates had been discontent with the C'thur Hive's direction since the High Queen's injuries and opposed the [[Einstein Engines]] deal, believing it disproportionately benefited the minor queens. These Surrogates, later known as the Lii'kenka, orchestrated a campaign to dethrone Mouv and replace her with one of their own. They were discovered attempting to sabotage Mouv's [[Mouv, The Recondite Queen#Her Realm\|Realm]] in [[Virtual Reality]] and expose Mouv's surveillance operations to the [[Nralakk Federation]]. As a result, they were unanimously declared Punished by the C'thur Hive. However, due to the high-profile nature of the crime, the Lii'kenka were allowed to choose an exile location outside the Nralakk Federation.

Although the Lii'kenka now mostly operate in the shadows, they have significant influence in advocating for Queenless civil rights in the Republic of Biesel.

	The Lii'kenka played a crucial role in the colonization of Azcapotzalco in Mictlan. More information about the Queenless in Mictlan can be found here.

The New Gibson Refugees

@@ Line 66: / Line 66: @@
 Because there have been no official efforts by the Hives to promote a [[Languages#Freespeak|Freespeak]] translator to the voice modulators, Zinos have managed to create their own, which is regarded as broken and, sometimes, even making communication impossible. If a Zino were, due to some uplift or for some other reason, employed at Tau Ceti, it’s likely it would trade its bootleg Freespeak modulator for a Basic one.
-===The New Gibson Refugees===
+===Lii'kenka, The Traitors of Phoenixport===
-Direct descendants of High Queen C’thur herself, they had been in dispute with the rest of the Hive since before their discovery by Skrell. Believing in diplomacy, as well as inter-hive unity, the breaking point in their relationship with the rest of C’thur was regarding the [[Vaurca Hives#C'thur|Glorashi rendez-vous]], which they claim was a C’thur betrayal of K’lax. The Tas of this group believe the Lesser Queens are irresponsible and, because of the current state of Queen C’thur, one of them should raise and become a new Lesser Queen.
+The Lii'kenka ("Traitors") are a mysterious group of Punished Vaurcae led by former Surrogates of the [[C'thur, Queen of Masques|C'thur brood]]. The name is an exonym; they prefer to be called the Kynyk ("Circle"). Among the Klat'xatl, the Lii'kenka are known for their desperate attempts to regain power after their disgrace. The Lii'kenka are less understood compared to other Punished groups, with seemingly small communities. Nonetheless, they remain present in the [[Republic of Biesel]], primarily in [[Mictlan]] and [[Biesel|Phoenixport]].
-Never persecuted and just disliked by the rest of the Hive, the New Gibson Refugees gained their name after their claims that Vytel Warriors attempted to assassinate their Tas. Although [[Scay, The Hidden Queen|Queen Scay]] seems to be mostly indifferent to the group, the refugees claim it was both Scay and the Tau Ceti that managed to save them. Most of their Breeders have given up on these claims of royal succession, and have now focused on a Zo’ra-C’thur alliance, with many of the Unbound claiming they are both Zo’ra and C’thur alike. Despite the population in [[New Gibson#Biodomes|Xerexes]] and their efforts, no political repercussions have occurred because of this.
+Though rare, some Lii'kenka identify themselves openly, using the term Kynyk. In many cases, Lii'kenka members who have taken jobs across the Orion Spur do so by falsifying [[Vaurca Organizations#Vaurca Office of Administrative Services|VOAS]] documents and masking their pheromones. The Lii'kenka are not considered a threat by any Major Hives but are universally disliked within the C'thur Hive as traitors.

	Ni’mi’katz are the other prominent group of Queenless in [[Flagsdale]], formed entirely of K’lax. The exclusivity is so that no Zo’ra or C’thur can be formally made a member of this ~~exclusive~~ group. Translated as ‘The Dealership’, they operate the biggest market of stolen electronic goods in Biesel, which is only able to operate due to the difficulties the police have accessing District 9.
